Everything has changed for Taylor Pendrith over the past two weeks. Pendrith won The CJ Cup Byron Nelson on May 5 for his first-ever PGA Tour victory, then tied for 10th at the Wells Fargo Championship on Sunday.
Pendrith won The CJ Cup Byron Nelson on May 5 for his first-ever PGA Tour victory, then tied for 10th at the Wells Fargo Championship on Sunday. Those performances lifted him from 91st on the FedEx Cup standings up to No. 30 and qualified him for this week's PGA Championship, the second major of the men's golf season.
Moving up to the top 30 in the FedEx Cup and 54th on the official world golf rankings has opened up a lot more for the 32-year-old from Richmond Hill, Ont. "You get to test your game against the best in the world and on championship golf courses that are made to hold these events and have a lot of history."Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., and Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., who played with Pendrith at Kent State University, are also in the PGA Championship field, as are Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., and Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor, both from Abbotsford, B.C.
There are two other elite tournaments Pendrith has potentially played his way into over the past two weeks. Taylor is fifth on the International Team standings, making him a compulsory pick, while Conners and Hadwin are 10th and 11th respectively to bring them within a reasonable range of being selected by Weir. Pendrith and Conners were the first two Canadians to play at the same Presidents Cup in 2022 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C.
